❶What is the origin of the nickname “Meiko Triton”?
The famous port Triton’s nickname comes from Triton, the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology. The reason the bridge was given the nickname “Triton” was because the mythical Triton calmed the rough seas and protected ships, so the bridge was named as a prayer for the safety of the bridge.
